This is an adorable picture! I fell in love with this guy:>). Squirrels think and reason, and peeling the mushroom doesn't surprise me but I've never seen it happen. Thanks so much for such an entertaining pic - such an AWWWW moment. FAV

I love squirrels, they are so cute, never quiet. I didn't know either, they eat mushrooms. Lovely capture, Chris!
Chris Lord replied:
They do indeed eat mushrooms Priska, and they peel them first! Thanks for the kind words, cheers.

... Lois envisions loopy squirrels singing '60's songs from the tree tops ...
Chris Lord replied:
Haha, Don't think it was THAT kind of mushroom or I would have asked him to share it!!
Lois Bryan
HAHAH!!!!! He's DARLING!!!!!!!!! I had no idea they ate mushrooms!!!!!!
Chris Lord replied:
Neither did I 'till I watched this guy. He actually carefully peeled it first then he ate all around, finally throwing the stem away. A fussy squirrel yet! I stood about 7 feet away from him and watched the whole performance. almost forgot to push the shutter button I was so fascinated. Thanks Lois, appreciate the comment, cheers.
